Where is zsh supposed to be?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wherever your distro's package manager puts it is where it should go. Do not move or mess with the files in /bin or /usr/bin. Their location doesn't affect anything that you should care about. It is only so the system knows where to find them when working with their packages.
I'm not trying to move any of these two directories, I'm just trying to set the zsh shell as the default and didn't know which one to choose since there are two.
I recommend you read
man usermod
and particularly the--shell
option for that utilityEdit: also observe how the default shells are stored in
/etc/passwd
(but don't manually edit that file!)Thank you
